Abstract

This study investigated the effect of copy number and transcriptional level of the qnrA gene on plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance, and the effect of quinolones on qnrA expression, in three clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and the corresponding Escherichia coli transconjugants. The copy number of plasmids containing qnrA was analysed and transcriptional studies were performed on transconjugants grown in the presence or absence of ciprofloxacin or moxifloxacin. None of the three clinical isolates was porin-deficient. One isolate contained a mutation in the quinolone resistance-determining region of the gyrA gene (Ser83Phe), but no gyrA mutations were present in the other two isolates, and no mutations were found in parC. Differences in qnrA copy number were observed in K. pneumoniae, but not in the corresponding E. coli transconjugants, although the qnrA gene was located in plasmids with similar mobility and Southern blot RFLP pattern. Differences in qnrA transcription, both at the basal level and following induction by quinolones, were observed among transconjugants. Expression of the qnrA gene correlated well with the level of quinolone (ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin) resistance in E. coli transconjugants. These ...Continue Reading
